Political scientist Robert Pape says Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz could help the country become a fourth center of global power.

Maine lawmakers recently approved the first statewide moratorium on new AI data centers, though it's unclear if Governor Janet Mills will veto the bill. State Representative Melanie Sachs explains what motivated the legislation.

Guido Reichstadter is a former U.S. Marine who left the service after refusing to deploy to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Here's why he scaled the 168-foot Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C. to protest the war on Iran.

A top Pentagon official claimed on Thursday there is "no indication" the U.S. has bombed multiple schools, hospitals and other civilian sites in Iran. Admiral Brad Cooper said the attack on a school in Minab on February 28 — which killed 175 people — was still under investigation.

“It is a favorite tactic of the Israeli regime to try to bully people into silence and submission,” says @raniabatrice.bsky.social of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s communications team. Flotilla members Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila were abducted from their ships and taken to Israel last week.

States across the South are redrawing congressional maps after the Supreme Court's effective gutting of the Voting Rights Act, says @ariberman.bsky.social of Mother Jones. “This could lead to the largest drop in Black representation since the Jim Crow era, and it is happening with alarming speed."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has wanted a war against Iran "for decades" and is likely to sabotage current peace talks, says journalist Negar Mortazavi. "He wants the war to continue to expand."

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”

The antiwar movement in Israel is growing, says Israeli peace activist @alonlee.bsky.social, who was arrested in Tel Aviv on Saturday as Israeli police cracked down on a protest against the wars in Iran and Lebanon. Demonstrations also took place in Haifa and Jerusalem.

Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."
